Anaesthesia
• “Extreme approximation of death” (Euliano, 2004)
• “…that even today we understand but partly”
(Eger, 2006)
• “Every complication has the potential to
cause lasting harm to the patient…
deviations from the norm must be recognised
promptly and managed appropriately”
(Aitkenhead, 2007)
HINZ_PostGrad_13 TADAA 5
Your Text here Your Text hereYour Text hereYour Text here
Complications
• 49% of preventable adverse events due to
„system factors‟
• Poor record keeping
• Lack of information
• Few standard procedures
• Failure to adhere to standards
• Poor communication
• Organisational culture (Davis, 2003)
HINZ_PostGrad_13 TADAA 6

Solutions
• Standard procedures
• WHO Safer Surgery Checklist
• Recording, Adherence to procedures
HINZ_PostGrad_13 TADAA 7
Task analysis
• “A scientific description of the
anaesthetist’s task patterns and workload
would aid in our understanding of the
nature of anaesthetist’s job…and provide
a rational basis for making improvements”
(Weinger, 1994)
• “A scientific description of the
anaesthetist’s task patterns and workload
would aid in our understanding of the
nature of anaesthetist’s job…and provide
a rational basis for making improvements”
(Weinger, 1994)
• Evidence-based medicine requires
scientific data to justify improvements

Conclusion
• ARAZ very good at sensing Recording activity
• DTAZ good at sensing Drug Prep
– But needs more rules to distinguish other
activity at drug trolley
• AF very good at sensing anaesthetist location +
orientation
– But requires better activity inference
mechanism
• RFID sensors less distracting than observers
• Higher upfront cost, but lower ongoing cost
HINZ_PostGrad_13 TADAA 26
Future development
• Refine rules
– Switching semi-HMM? (Duong, 2005)
• Identify lower level activities
• Additional sensors
– Tag objects - syringes, intubation equipment
– Voice detection for „conversing‟ activities
– Gaze detection for „observing‟ activities
HINZ_PostGrad_13 TADAA 27
Future development
• Real-time viewer
– Communication to staff outside theatre
• Repository of activity records
– Research unfamiliar procedures
– Mine by anaesthetist
– Mine by procedure type, patient condition, etc
• Formulate „best practice‟ for procedure
– Recognise deviations in real-time, raise alarm

Editor's Notes

  • #16: Lab and field tests measured response rates when writing on different parts of the clipboard.Lower rates in field test because clipboard was on metal work surface of anaesthetic machine.
  • #18: Field tests measured response rates at different areas of the drug trolley.
  • #20: Polar plots show 6-point ‘fingerprints’ – signal strength values from 2 tags at 3 readers
  • #21: Very simple explanation of how sequences of fingerprints build up an activity
  • #23: Field tests highlight existing SOMs much less accurate on new data => inconsistency of signal strength from day-to-day
  • #27: Short- to medium-term work
